Stupid money, gets me in trouble every time.
Either you don't wanna know, don't care, or just aren't reading this, this isn't for you. Whatever the fuck that means, here's my attempt to post on my recnet trips. I'll be "writing" them every few days about each day as they go on. Well, more or less each day. Whatever. Here goes "day one"
Dude, the drive to vegas was killer. First off, we didn't even leave till tuesday morning cuz of the stupid car. So, when we left, it was like TIME TO GO, m'k. When we got to vegas it was around eight. The drive in was pretty funny though, cuz when we were checkin' out some chicks. They were cute, about Jess's age or so. We hung around their car for a bit here and there. And then Ian stuck out his feet cuz he was hot and we ended up passing those chicks. And then when they passed us, they stuck out their feet. It was one of those hilarious moments that we will never be able to repeat.
While we were in vegas, we got a fairly cheap hotel by vegas standards. Ian had to pay and we had to act like there was only 1 of us in that room. After that we went in the pool that was at the hotel. It felt great after being in the car for so long. Specially after I drove the whole way and felt freakishly sweaty from all the driving. Then went searchin' for food. Before that we started the night in vegas fashion by finihing 2 beers a piece. However, since we hadn't had food in a while, we got pretty buzzed. Interesting... yet not so much cuz we were hungry and we needed food. So we went lookin' for the buffet dinners that are around vegas. Apparently they're pretty decent dinners and they're cheap too. Well, as cheap as a buffet can be. So we went down the strip looking for a buffet that was open at 10. By the way, there are none. Course it was late tuesday night, so our chances were better finding free drinks than a friggin' buffet. So... we ate dinner at the Stratusphere, somewhere on the ground floor in a resturant that wasn't half bad. After dinner, we went to the top of the Stratusphere to go on the rides. Man, they were cool. The first ride we went on was at the top of the Stratusphere. It's a lot like Drop Zone, but a lot freakier cuz they shoot you up in the air and then drop you back down. Now, remember, we're already about 900 feet from the street, and then when they shoot you up, you're like "HOLY SHIT!". Then, we went on this other ride that, no clue what to compare it to other than a ride that swings you out over the edge of the Stratusphere and all you're lookin' at is the 900 feet difference between you and and the ground. Let me tell you, that is probably the scariest ride I've ever been on. Thrilling as hell, yep.
After that, we went to our room to drop off something and then since we were tired, we got some energy drinks so that we could go lookin' for a liquor store and then drink some more. We walked around forever, those energy drinks didn't really do much. Then we found a 7/11 that was really f-ing hard to find cuz we're tired... We kept walkin' for a while, cuz I wanted to see that water thingy in front of that hotel/casino. Like in Oceans Eleven. Would've been cool to see, though it wasn't workin' so we take the bus back to the room. Me and kev shared the bed while Ian went to sleep on the floor. We woke up half an hour before we were supposed to check out and then started to drive our way to Waco, Texas. Yes, that's right, we left Vegas and we didn't even get drunk or get really, really, really drunk. (No it's not an error, I meant to say it that way.) WTF? Oh well...
More or less, that's day one. Pictures to come soon-ish.
